Zenix' pov


I was in my bed wrapped in blankets, It was still cold considering that it was autumn. I say autumn because it is smarter than fall, autumn was called autumn because it is from Latin and old French, fall is just called fall because- what was that post again? BECAUSE LEAF FALL. It wasn't that cold but I felt the need to be comforted by something, at least something. I heard a knock down stairs as if someone ran into something. It was probably Gene and Sasha back from the party not caring that I might be asleep. I got out of my bed as I couldn't ignore the bashing sounds.


'' wassup zenny.'' I was greeted by a very drunk looking Gene.


''how many drinks did you have at the party?'' Obviously this was my opening sentence.


'' only twooo.''


''i see the empty beer bottles on the ground, genius.'' It's true, he was surrounded by four beer bottles at his feet from the island bench in the kitchen.


''Whaaa, I had only two AT THE PARTY.'' Gene made sure to emphasise his point.


I sighed heavily. ''come on I'll take you to your room.''


I put my arm on Gene's waist holding him up and he leaned on me throwing his arm over my shoulders. I lead him up the stairs to his bedroom were I helped him lay down. I turned around and began leaving for the kitchen to get water for him, I was stopped before I could leave the side of genes bed. Gene had clung onto my arm as he looked up at me.


"We could do a repeat of school, high school." Gene slurred as he tried pulling me closer to his bed.


I just stared at him blankly and pulled my arm away and continued to walk to the kitchen.


"Fine have it your way." I could hear him mutter before laid down on his bed.


I went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. My legs felt weak at the reminder of the past, but mostly at the thought that Gene would feel horrible in the morning. I went back to his room with the water and put it on the bed side table. Gene was laying face down on his bed now. I gently stroke his hair a few times, there was no response so he must've crashed.


I went to my room and took my shirt off before falling onto my bed. I pulled my phone out of my gene pocket- I mean jean pocket. I took my earphones off of the bedside table as I plugged them into my phone and listened to my playlist as loud as the phone would go. I kept having flash backs. I focused on the song but it wasn't enough. Eventually say amen by Panic! at the disco began playing and it was easy for me to get lost in that song. It is apart of Brendon's new album 'praying for the wicked.'


Dream/flashback


I went to my locker and grabbed my not book ignoring everything else that was in there, I doubt I will ever use my maths book. I then got I harsh tap on my shoulder and turned to a smiling Sasha.


"Zen, recently you have been acting weird." It is true, I realised I was gay and maybe I was acting secretive? "So I thought a girlfriend would be helpful! This is Lucinda!"


The orange headed girl next to her, which I didn't notice until now. I looked back at Sasha and then walked away clearly annoyed.
